Just a Reminder

Harvard College rescinded admissions offers to at least ten prospective members of the Class of 2021 after the students traded sexually explicit memes and messages that sometimes targeted minority groups in a private Facebook group chat.

A handful of admitted students formed the messaging group — titled, at one point, “Harvard memes for horny bourgeois teens” — on Facebook in late December, according to two incoming freshmen.
In the group, students sent each other memes and other images mocking sexual assault, the Holocaust, and the deaths of children, according to screenshots of the chat obtained by The Crimson. Some of the messages joked that abusing children was sexually arousing, while others had punchlines directed at specific ethnic or racial groups. One called the hypothetical hanging of a Mexican child “piñata time.”
After discovering the existence and contents of the chat, Harvard administrators revoked admissions offers to at least ten participants in mid-April, according to several members of the group. . . .
The chat grew out of a roughly 100-member messaging group that members of the Class of 2021 set up in early December to share memes about popular culture. Admitted students found and contacted each other using the official Harvard College Class of 2021 Facebook group.

High school age teens being obnoxious and provocative? I'm shocked, shocked. I'm sure this censorship only runs to the right, and that prospective students who advocate violence against the right wing are made to feel right at home.

Having been sold a pack of feminist lies that make both men and women unhappier, those of us in the millennial generation who are interested in happy marriages have had to rediscover a lot of politically incorrect truths from scratch.
But there’s one truth that is particularly difficult for our genderless, sexless culture to accept, because it eviscerates not one, but two shibboleths of the age: first, that men and women desire the same things in relationships, and second, that a selfish, “be yourself” attitude is a good prescription for marital bliss. . . .

Read the whole thing. The problem is, feminists are against male happiness. The typical feminist approach is to (a) identify something men like, (b) argue that it is oppressive to women, and (c) destroy it. Feminists don’t care whether this destructive process actually makes women happier. The whole point is to prevent men from being happy.

I think a strain of this runs through all, or at least most, women. They don't fully understand what motivates men, and they don't always appreciate the things that men want to do. Feminists, however, seem to have made a religion out of it.
